Wasn't her name judy? There was no room in the story line for her especially when little Richie came on the seen. Reminds me of the daughter on my wife & kids. She went upstairs one day & a different Clare came down the next.

I did read they ditched the first Claire for being to dark. Also that girl from singing group 3LW said she was kicked out for being too dark. To be honest I have noticed when Hollywood casts little black girls (young children and teens) they tend to be light skin with looser hair. Tia and Tamara types. Not always but usually. The black boys I see light and dark skin.

Caaaaaaaad dayum Kim K must be holding platinum and diamonds inside of her who-ha. Cause the clothes Kanye sent her.. DAYUM! I guess that's just how she balls. DAAAAANG. I can't even hate (well not for a few seconds at least).

“He’s in a relationship on his own. I’m single,” Rihanna told Oprah, adding that they still see each other and are “very close friends.” “We’ve built a trust again and that’s it. We love each other and we probably always will,” Rihanna said.

“My stomach drops. I have to maintain this poker face and not let it get to the outer part of me,” she said. But then Oprah asked Rihanna if she thinks Chris, 23, is her true love. And the answer left Oprah totally speechless– and RiRi in a pool of tears.“Absolutely,” Rihanna said, with tears dripping down her cheeks. “I think he was the love of my life.

I was just thinking this (about Camille Winbush - forget her character's name). And she stayed on for the life of the show.
Also, "Bud" from the Cosby Show. I can't remember the character's name; that's what Rudy called him when she introduced him.

There is no disagreement. Just was playing devil's advocate. I think in this instance, she should not prevail.

I just wanted to give a different point of view, but I don't disagree with yours.

Yeah I've seen dark skinned boys on shows. I noticed a lot of them play little comedians, naughty kids, or really bad kids.

I think they don't pick darker skinned girls as much because they aren't considered "as cute" as little light skinned girls. How many times have we heard black folks and white folks say how "cute" little mixed looking girls are .. and yeah a lot of them are adorable. But so are a lot of little darker skinned girls. To me, Rudy was ADORABLE!

It's seems the same thing they do with adult actors of color. A darker skinned woman is not okay to play a major love interest in a movie (she can be a funny friend or whatever) with a white guy but they will allow it with a lighter skinned woman. And the black guys (unless they Denzel) that are darker either play the funny acting friend or he's alway doing something borderline criminal or downright criminal.

Meaning, I get her arguments and if it wasn't for her past antics, they might be valid. But given her past antics and over all crazy, her motives are suspect at best and she should not be able to take the child to France.

I'm convinced that a few of y'all like to take shots at folks, so you can whine when they shoot back at you. You're always clueless as to why you get labeled a "troll". Then, it becomes all about the "meanies on 4a"'

Rudy is one.
Dee is way back in the day so I will put Kim Fields in there too if people consider her dark.
There is that girl from I Will Fly away.

So Korra is awesome (finally got through all 60 episodes of TLA (for the 4th? time) - I told myself I could only start Korra after watching them again). And I felt genuine fear watching the Revelation (episode 4?). Looking forward to MOAR!
